Toyota Celica GT Four - Can You Fit Baby & Child Seats In Rear Seats? 

Great review! 205 is awesome but I own a 185RC so I’m bias towards that. After 18 years of ownership I still look back at her after parking up 😁

I was recommend this video via JayEmm’s channel and it’s so relevant to me it’s unreal! I literally went to look at a 90s Celica yesterday and took my 5 year old son with me to see if I could get him in the back 😂 I was so surprised by how much space there actually is in there. I didn’t bring my 2 year old daughter’s car seat with me but it would have definitely fit as your video clearly demonstrates. Total Tardis of a car! As a car loving dad myself I absolutely love your channel! It’s such a great angle on car culture and you’ve got a fantastic energy and presenting style. I’ve subbed here and on Instagram and am looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos 🙌

I miss my 1990 3sge Celica... Was my daily for 4 years.

Absolutely the best looking JDM car for me, another cracking review Ben. Big love to @jayemm for persevering with the restoration and letting the girls enjoy some time in it too!

This is a love letter to 90s JDMs and it was awesome! The child seat test was just a cover up 😂😂😂.

Love these cars. I had the ST185 GT Four, black with white OZ wheels. My first 200+ HP 4x4 car. I’m suddenly missing it😢 Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😊

Beautiful motor. Was my favourite driving position and ride height .

My boys love going out in the car, the engines are solid its just the other bits that make living with a four a love-hate situation

Great video mate! For a Dad car, you try a 1997-2001 manual Toyota Caldina GT-T. The same 4wd system as the celica and the 4th Gen 3SGTE had 260BHP(at the flywheel)

Great vid, you and your daughter are like Batman and Robin, a duo to reckon with, cool car, was my favourite looking car in the day

This was a great vid. You definitely have a solid presenting style, i love the 'dad' spin you put in reviews being a father of three myself and you have just earned a new subscriber. My second car at 18 years old was a mk2 mr2 2.0 n/a and i felt like the coolest lad in the city, at least until i span out at a roundabout in the rain trying to impress my girlfriend, ignited a love of rear wheel drive though and i really wish i had kept it. Keep up the good work my guy i think you could really become successful doing this.

Have owned an ST205 for over 20 years. They have been, for a very long time, totally overlooked by the JDM scene. Car scene in general TBH. Always in the shadow of the supra. Its amazing how many people are still surprised when I inform them that the "Four" in the name is in fact 4WD. Very little is known about these cars on the whole. They have flaws, In abundance. But they also have one of the most intoxicating characters of any car I have ever driven. I have owned mine long enough to have seen them go from RARE to COMMON and back to RARE again and It's nice being a member what is becoming an even more exclusive club as time goes on. especially in the last 24 months as it seems these cars are being noticed and dare I say, even sought after. When I used to get asked "Should I buy one?" I'd typically say no .BUT, If you are willing to give it the dedication and love these cars require and deserve. Then you will without a doubt fall totally in love with it. Some days hate it. Some days wonder if you should get rid of it. But when all is good. and you get to your favourite piece of road on a summer evening. you remember why its part of your life.

Another great video. Very informative and I love the responses your girls have on your drives. So great

Wow, always liked the GT Four. Great video as always 🥰🥰

セリカ GT Four 白ボディに白ホイール似合いますね😊 チャイルドシートも装着して家族でお出かけ仕様でいい感じですね 運転が楽しく仕方ないのが伝わってきました、お子さんも楽しそうで将来有望ですね✨ 日本仕様なので、ワイパーとウインカーが逆なんですね😊 こちらも笑顔になっちゃう動画でした☺️

Great video, thanks!

Yes! This video was literally made for me! So pumped.

T.Y, great review! 🙏🙏

Love the ST205’s and I nearly bought one a few years ago when I wanted to get a JDM but being a Dad I had a number of boxes to tick to get it passed the misses which included safety, size, can I get the kids and dog in it at the same time….the car i finally bought, and still absolutely love, is a Forester STI not quite a 90’s car (05) but it’s got no traction control, no ESP etc so u still get that analogue feel

I know James well and love how he loves to share his cars along with his experience. Best of luck with the channel, you have a new sub

I would implore you to try previous generation Celica GT-i/2.0L FWD one Its probably best combination for a fun daily sportscar with even deeper trunk. Obviously lighter than GTFour since it has naturally aspirated version of 3S engine. Also, pop up headlights :)

Yeah back in the day, having the car was everything a! That car looked fun to drive - got super excited for a split second when I saw your instagram reel thinking it was a white supra 😮

Love the GT4 😎

Hi Ben. Hope your doing good. That was one very cool video. My sister still has her old 1980s Toyota Supra V6. They are awesome cars. Always loved the Celica's, Supra's & Celica GT-S Convertibles. Take care and stay safe.

Just picked up a 42k mile, 2003 Nismo kitted Nissan Skyline 350 GT (V35) Auto (tip), absolutley love the ‘Jap muscle car ness’ of it and it has the best back seats. Actually bought it specifically as a Dad car for when out with my 2 daughters. Great vid, Ive met James a couple of times, he came over to us to drive the DB9 based Brad Walsh BAE Vantare, he’s top fella.

You're more than welcome to take my 2001 Toyota Crown Athlete VX, for a spin. They only made 300 of them

Until just now, I'd forgotten that I rode in the back of one of these, nonturbo fwd, 32 years ago back in college. The owner would smoothly let out the clutch, floor it, and shift- at 2,000 revs! In every gear! I told her it would be MUCH quicker if she'd actually let it rev up anywhere close to the 6 grand redline.

Great idea for a channel! I’m here most nights thinking of what 80/90’s car I can get away with next…. First question can I get three car seats in 😂 Also hats off to you.. having 4 kids and running a channel. I just about get enough time to watch RU-vid

Like always, awesome video 👍🏼👍🏼 I’m pretty surprised the rear facing child seat fits about as good in this GT four as in my Volvo wagon 😂

Great video! As a car guy and new dad I'm trying to look for the happy medium! I had a 97 dep sol and obviously that had to go cause no rear seats at all so I sold it and got a 00 Celica GT-S. I haven't tried to put the baby in the back seat yet as I have other family cars I've been using but to know that it could if I needed to is great! I also have a 91 Stealth RT Turbo that the rear seats are a definite no for anyone but maybe a small child just out of a booster seat

I miss my gt4 so much, even listening to that turbo just brings back a smile bought it in 2014 sold in 2017 and I regret it every day. I made money selling it for more than I paid but still not worth the grand

Ok my car is almost a 90’s car. I’ll NEVER sell my ‘89 Supercharged MR2. White with maroon interior. Mint condition. They just don’t make cars like that anymore. Cheers! Great video!

I have a 1991 5th gen Celica gti which I have created my own JVC livery for along with Saga Mega drive stickers too. Always turns heads and little school boys go made when I flip the head lights. 😂. I also have a K12 Nissan Micra. 204. It was my daughters learning car. One day something clicked in my brain. I said wait a minute this is a 1.4 twin cam 16v engine. That's 80s GTI spec! and it can't breath properly. The air intake was in a terrible place. So I cut the end off and stuck an old hover hose into the front grill to the air box. Ram Air. My god. I had created a GTI for nothing. It now goes like stink. I loved it so much I bought it off my daughter. I had to put wider tyres on it as it now spins the wheels in the wet. It now looks like an 80s GTI and goes like one. Makes me laugh out load when I pull away from people at traffic lights and at the next lights you can see them looking at the Micra thinking, what kind of Micra is that! It pissed off a new Golf Gti driver so much on the twisties the other day he floored his triple bhp car on the straight to put my Micra in its place 😂

The wastegate is not quite as adorable as the gigglebox in the back seat :)

I own the ST205 GT4 sister the convertible which was the same price when new, but has the same engine base as it and they are very cheap to buy but bags of fun and style

Lovely example - could use as a Dad Car, but no food or shoes allowed 🤣

Love the car love the review but really would recommend looking into the safety of that travel car seat. They are not up to scratch from what I've seen. They don't meet modern car seat safety standards. Not worth the risk with precious cargo.

I use the gt4 as my daily. space+larger fuel tank+ fuel economy over the gtr and gtir

👍

If the GT Four ST205 is the yaris mum. Then I'd say the GR yaris is the postman's kid.

That isn't a holomation (sp) car it's a just a gt4 the wrc edition was the holomation

I have a child's seat in my r33 skyline. Good daily. Mpg could be better tho

90s was the best era for jap cars without a doubt but some early 2000s were pretty good to. Love the sound of a 90s turbo it's much than modern turbo 4 cylinder hatchbacks

What specific child seat is that, need the model as it fits so bloody perfect in the GT4's rear seats

Don’t get a blooper reel on James’s channel! 🤪🫡👍👌
